The home team defeated the Pelicans yes
terday by score Of 10 to 3. The visitors
costly errors and their inability to bat
Sonlers put the game in Savamah's hands.
Somers had excellent control of
the ball and was very effec-

piled up eight runs in the first two innings
and won the game before it was hardly be-
gun. Campaus three-bagger, and Reilly
and Somers' two-baggers were features Of
the home teams playing.
If Savannah can hold together and play
as good bah as the team has played in the
last two games the management will receive
more than the indifferent support it has had
ever since the club started out. The Peli-
cans are a crack team. They are thoroughly
organized and play well together. They are
sharply coached, and there are no better
coachers in the Southern League than Puiol

A succession of costly errors bad as much
as anything to do with their defeat yester-

The OpelikalTinleS tells how little Johnnie
Ray and four other small boys made mar
row escape yesterday from horrible death.
Late in the afternoon they were returning
home after having robbed several birds
nests, getting up collection of eggs. They
came to large tree and saw nest in the
branches. Johnnie being the largest boy in
the crowd he climbed the tree for the eggs.
About this time the clouds began to look
threatening, and the boy Sided down to the
ground as fast as possible. Just as he struck
the ground and stood off a few feet, the
lightning struck the tree, splitting it
asunder and completely shredding it. The
shock, of course, felled Johnnie to
the ground, and when he came to his senses
he struck the grit in quarter horse time for
home. The other little fellows had leaked
out, and John soon followed. He said he
could feel the needles all in his arms, hands
and legs; said he felt like he had a battery
on him. These little fellows were following
what they thought was an innocent amuse-
ment, but the birds were not put here to be
robbed of their young, and this is what the
eggs make. The accident may be warn
ing and the next time they rob nest some
thing terrible will happen to them. Little
boys feel mighty strong, and talk about
fighting and all that, but they can't wrestle
with a long streak of lightning

An Instantaneous Marriage.
From The Cincinnoti Commercial.


A marriage ceremony was performed yes
terday afternoon that was such an instan-
taneous affair as TO besingular At3:l5 the
prospective bride, waitress in the New
York restaurant, was attending to her
duties in the cafe, all unconscious of the
fact that within half hour, made up of
only thirty ordinary Cincinnati restaurant
minutes, she would be bride, bluShing or
blushless she knew not. The fair waitress
name is-or rather was-Bettie West. BY
the instantaneous marriage her name was
transformer into Mrs. Otto Kleeman. Mr..
Otto Kleeman, the rapidly made groom. is
also waiter in the New York restaurant.
and for some time past has had his olsen
gagged optics on the now Mrs. Otto Klee-
man. He looked, and as he looked became
more and more smitten. Bette was as full
of feminine intuition as a jug is of inspira-
ton, and Bette was silent. Bette was
patient and Bette waited the eYentful hour.
Ii came yesterday afternoon-came quickly
and came without that effusion and those
amorous frills that all lovers are fond of.
At 6:22, city time, Otto approached Bette.
Bette blushed in anticipation At 1923
Otto proposed At 1923 l-2 Bette accepted.
At 1928 the marriage license had been OBJ
tanned, and at 1885 l-2 Squire McGranahan
spread his hands over the heads of the happy
pair, and in another second had said: "Bless
thee, my children. One dollar, please. y
The bride and groom returned TO the res
tauraut. and ut 6 O'Clock they were flying
about with laden trays just as though their
matrimonial adventure was but an Incident
OF everyday life.

Griffin De!egal, who killed Bob Watts on
board the steamer David Clark, in Catalogue

guilty.
James Middleton, leader of the Union
Cornet Band; Joseph Hauilton, manager,
and Peter Blair were the States principal

The murder for which Delegal was tried
grew out of a drunken quarrel between the
prisoner and Watts or a coachmen's excur-
sion to Beaufort Both men had been
drinking and were quarreling. Watts
picked mp a chair to defend himself
and while hourishing it in the
faces of the crowd Delegal drew revolver
and fired. The bullet struck Watts in the
right breast, near the heart. He fell, say
ing, I'm shot Delegal tried to fire a sec
ond time, but his arm was caught by Blair
The wounded man died in five minutes.
Middleton was the first one of the crowd
to approach the murderer. As soon as he
saw what happened he jumped up from the
bow of the boat where he was sitting, and
seized Delegal and held him. In few min
utes he was surrounded by the officers of
the vessel and the murderer was tied and
brought back to Savannah Both Middleton
and Hamilton saw Delegal fire the fatal
shot. The Coroner's jury returned verdict
charging Delegal with willful murder.
His trial was at Beaufort, the murder
having been committed in South Carolina

MOTHER GoosEs CHILDREN.
They Dance in Costume for the Kings
Daughters.


Daughters.
The entertainment last evening at the
hall of the Republican Blues, under
the auspices of three sections of the Kings
Daughters, was very enjoyable and sue
cessful one. AT o'clock lot of pretty lit
tie children gave the Quaker dance in cos
tune. They presented very attractive APP
pearance, and won unbounded applause
The Mother Goose quadrille fol-
lowed. 1t was danced by children somewhat
older. They were also in costume. They
made such good impression that there was
a demand that they should repeat their
performance later in the evening
They complied with the demand and
between Q and 10 o'clock danced the quad
rifle twice, much to the satisfaction and
pleasure Of those present. In the early even
ing the hall was crowded, and fair audi
ence was present when the quadrille
was repeated. The Kings Daughters
were much gratified with the success OF
their effort. The three Captains of the sec
tions will divide as much as 500 between
them
